Kane Brown’s Sister ‘Doing Better’ After Getting Stabbed

Kane Brown's younger sister is recovering well after being the victim of a stabbing in late July.

The 22-year-old rising country star turned to social media to let his fans know that his 19-year-old sister, Heidi Swafford, had been stabbed. He tells People that she is currently recovering from her wounds, which were not life-threatening.

According to previous reports, Swafford was involved in an altercation with another woman in Chattanooga, Tenn., on July 26, when the fight took a violent turn. She sustained multiple stab wounds in the neck and shoulder, and reportedly may have sustained some degree of permanent nerve damage.

Brown — who recently received a gold record for his debut single, "Used to Love You Sober" — tells People it was difficult to balance his concern for his sister with the demands of his burgeoning career.

“It was hard because I was all the way … in Nebraska, and I get a text from my oldest sister saying that she was stabbed, so it’s like, I just wished I could be there,” the singer states. “I wanted to turn the bus around to go back, but we had two weeks of shows.”

WCRB-TV reports that Chattanooga police have arrested a 16-year-old female and charged her with attempted second degree murder and aggravated assault in the incident.
